I've gone here a couple times now, and every time it's great. Their bagels and bialys taste so fresh, and their schmears are so flavorful. I love how unique everything is. I only wish they would make more of the pizza bialy, I seem to keep showing up after they've sold out, but this carmelized onion one was also very tasty. read more

Hey Bagel - Carmelized Onion & Gruyere Bialy with Scallion Schmear - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love bagels, but I'm not even close to being a bagel expert.........so I decided to bring along a couple of experts. The consensus, 5 stars all around. We tried the everything bagels, the sesame bagels and the pizza bialy. We also ordered three schmears, plain, scallion and lox, all them outstanding. read more

Came just at the right moment to try some fresh bagels, but found they weren't for me. I'm sure they'll get a bit denser and chewier as they cool, but they were very light and fluffy- tasty as a snacking bread but not what a bagel is to me. Their schmears seemed fun - especially the spicy scallion and the raspberry curry which sounded quite adventurous- but we found all the schmear flavors to be very light and subtle and consistently similar, which didn't make them noteworthy. I like the direction but would love even more oomph to the flavors! They are super popular right now so there is often and a line and things sell out in the afternoon. Staff were very friendly :) read more

We showed up on a Sunday morning prior to opening and there was already a line outside! But the staff were nice and very efficient and I got out with my bagels relatively quickly. Got the everything bagel, poppy seed bagel, and onion/cheese bialy - all cooked to perfection - a crisp exterior, and the chewiest, airiest inside I've had so far in the PNW. Dipped my bagels in the Lox and chilli crisp schmear - both were addicting we mopped up the whole container. They sell small and large size schmears, would recommend trying a bunch of small ones as they aren't too expensive. Only a handful of bar seats inside so eating inside was not an option for us. Would definitely go again in a heartbeat! read more

Saw this in ig. We went there on Saturday around noon. Crazy long line, it goes around. Waited for 30-45min, finally got in. Located: in u village, uw, seattle Parking: plenty of free shared retail parking and parking garage. Most of the items we wanted to order are gone. So we got whatever we can get. 1/2 dozen bagels: sea salt, everything, garlic and salted sesame and plain. Their bagel is more a sour dough texture, so it's hard. Their everything and salted sesame are very salty. Sorry, we prefer Eltana Bagel in Seattle or pop up and liberty bagel in NYC. read more

I ordered the tomato tomato on a salt bagel, and it was delicious. The bagel itself was great, it was soft and fluffy but also crispy. The location is very clean and spacious, and there's free 2 hour parking, so it's a great spot if you need a place to study or chat! read more

Amazing amazing place that absolutely deserves the praise and recognition it gets. It's a bagel, not some holy miracle, but it's a good good bagel. We went in the afternoon a bit after opening so there wasn't a wait and they also don't sell out later in the day - we watched the bagel making process live - when things come out of the oven you KNOW. They announce it verbally and even if they didn't, the steam envelopes the kitchen like a fog machine. I asked for a bialy when we got there but the guy helping us told us they might not have any at the moment unless they were in the oven. So i chose a bagel and a few seconds later, he realized there were in fact bialys in the oven so he gave us a free schmear for the trouble and asked which bialy we wanted. But some switchup happened and we were given the wrong one - which honestly I questioned but then gaslit myself into thinking I just didn't know what the one I ordered was supposed to be like. So I was happily eating my wrong order which was delicious when the guy who helped us got my attention and passed me another bialy - he'd realized it was wrong and gave us another bialy on the house! So now we had 2 bialys and a free schmear and I had a heck of a good day after that read more

Great bagels, warm, soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside by the time we got there (9:45am) there was a line around the corner to the chipotle and then we were ordered and out the door by 10:55 so a little over an hour to get our bagels some of the smears were already sold out in the bigger containers, so we only got plain and scallion- I do wanna come back and try the other smears for sure and of course more good bagels! also shout out to chef Rubenstein for coming out and serving some hot coffee to us because it was so cold! read more

Not understanding the hype. We had the freshest bagel you could think of as it came straight out of the oven. Texture was great, nice crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. At the same time, there was no taste in the bagel. We also tried the scallion cream cheese and most of the flavor came from there. A charge of $3 for a bagel is not worth the money. Furthermore, they don't slice and spread the cream cheese for you. It's pretty awkward. Similar pricing, if not more expensive, to what you can get in Manhattan. For all these reasons, I'm giving 3 stars. I would come for cream cheese though, it was pretty darn delicious. read more

One of the best tasting bagels I've ever had! I highly recommend their everything bagel. Both the lox and scallion spreads were amazing. Super good and friendly service. Great pricing and portion. I got the bagel when it came out fresh. Nice outdoor seating in the area. I highly recommend and would come back! read more

After a couple years of outstanding bagels at pop-ups, Andrew Rubinstein is back with a new and simply superb bagel (and bialys) at Hey Bagel in University Village. And it's a new concept too. Bagels baked and served fresh (and often hot) all day long. The shop is modern, clean, and inviting. It's a great place for bagels. This is their first week, and they really don't seem to be any big bumps that they need to work out. I mean, Andrew's been at this bagel thing for a while now. The staff is friendly, professional, and it's obvious they enjoy working together. Service is wonderful. It's been a long time coming, but it's great to see this shop up and running. I'll be a regular. read more

I have become more and more skeptical of hype as time goes on. This place, does live up to the hype!!!! There actually is a good reason why you saw this all over your various social media platforms. Hot dang is this place good and tasty! We went mid morning on a weekday. Line of only 4 people ahead of us, which seems like a great time to sneak on in. We got three bagels total: the pepperoni pizza, the caramelized onion and gruyere, and the classic salted bagel (because of course we need a baseline test). Wow, were each one of these bagels soo delicious, so fresh, and so dang tasty. Paired with two of their tasty schmears, after first bite, we immediately got the hype. Had the salted bagel the next day at home, heated up in the the air fryer. Perfection. Oh my. The chili crisp schmear paired well with all three. We also going the garlic and chive schmear which of course was good. Zero complaints. Already planning to go back, even though its a little out of the way for us. Service was friendly. We liked how clean it was inside. We went on a rainy day, which meant we had to eat on the run, as there are not a lot of place to sit/stand and eat there, but that's okay. On a non rainy day, Uvillage offers plenty of benches and places to sit. Would go back. Would recommend. Go there, and don't try just one! get a mix! Cheers read more

Bagels were okay, smear was okay. Service was friendly and helpful. Shop is cute. Got the garlic bagel and chili crisp smear. The garlic was pretty burnt on my bagel, chili crisp had a nice little heat but it wasn't a lot. Tried the lox smear (little too salty) and the scallion smear (bland), everything bagel was good. Overall bagels are okay, pretty dense. read more

Very helpful staff! They told me that the bagels are all vegan. They also have vegan cream cheese in regular and scallion flavors! Lots of bagel options but get there early before they sell out. They don't toast anything or add the cream cheese, which is totally cool, but good to know. There's not much seating inside because it's more a grab and go situation. Would definitely come back and try more bagels! read more

Hey Bagel - Sesame bagel with vegan scallion cream cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a fun new bagel spot. We came on a Saturday afternoon and most bagel options were out, but there will still making some fresh batches! We got an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. This bagel was fresh so it was really hot! The texture was nice - firm and crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The scallion cheese was a nice complement. I'm glad we have a new bagel spot in u village and thought the bagel was really tasty! read more

Literally the best bagel I've ever had! One of those places I wish I could gatekeep but it's truly too good to not rave about (hence the hype!!)!!! All their flavors are amazing but I'm a poppy seed bagel lover through and through. My favorite way to eat these is to bring them home, rewarm them slightly and then cut, spread CC (the chili crisp one is to die for) and then EAT. You won't be disappointed. Some people don't love that there's not a place to sit and eat, but I don't mind. The service is excellent! I appreciate the quickness of how they get through the line, and the bagel makes any wait worth it. read more

The line moved relatively quick and maybe they weren't super fresh but although the flavor of the bagels and cream cheeses were great, the actual bagel was just alright and a litte chewy. They have some core bagels but some are on rotation Caramelized onion & Gruyère bagel - super good, flavorful, and juicy. Good on its own but kind of clashes with the cream cheeses or "schmears". Pepperoni pizza bagel - good but super super greasy, taste like a basic pizza bagel Salted sesame bagel - super plain and basic besides the sesame on the outside that falls out like crazy. Super dry Lox cream cheese schmear - super good and smoky salmon flavor Spicy scallion schmear - smoky and flavorful and goes well with most the bagels Chili crisp schmear - kind of bland, did not taste like chili crisp besides the obvious chili oil mixed in it read more

Omg so good! I got the pizza bagel with chili crisp smear. The bagel was super fresh and warm. The service is incredibly friendly as well. I thought the inside was really cute, and i really like how you can see inside of the kitchen! 10/10 will be back. read more

The bagels are so fresh and soft, and their cream cheeses are really cool flavors! We waited in line for about 20 minutes, but it kept moving which was nice. I ended up trying the chef special biali which was pepperoni or cheese. I went with pepperoni and it tasted like a mini pizza, I loved it! Their spicy scallion cream cheese was so good. I'd love to come back! read more

"Hot Bagels!" Best Bagels in Seattle, but you gotta eat them fresh! Swung by back in December and the hype was super real. The line was long but went quick. I cant speak for if the crazy line is still there, but dont worry its fast and efficient. Got a handful of bagels. The Everything was my top pick. These things came out piping fresh out the oven, and w a rip of the bagel a cloud of steam came out. These bagel got a perfect crunch on the outside and ridiculously pillowy inside. Pair that up with the spicy scallion smear and you got yourself the best bagel in Seattle. Also, dont sleep on the Bialys. These rotate and when we went in they had cheese and pepperoni pizza Bialys. Same deal here the bagel themselves are damn good but topped with some cheese, pep, and red sauce it'll be the best travel size pizza you can find. Definitely a top. I've been trying all the new bagel spots as the city's been going thru a bagel revolution, but to say as of now these are the best, but the caveat is you need to judge them when theyre fresh. If you take them home they have explicit instructions on how to reheat. Run the bagel under water before tossing it in the oven or air fryer, and it'll bring it right back to life. Its easy to judge a cold bagel and say its not good, so make sure you're doing it proper here. GO HERE! read more

5/5, no complaints! I'm not going to lie and say that they're the BEST bagels I've ever had, because I like bagels regardless, but there are a couple of things that Hey Bagel does that makes them stand out a bit to me. Last time I had visited, hoping to get bagels, was about a couple of months after it opened and the line was around the corner. The second time around was a success and there was no line at 11am on a Monday. The staff was super friendly and I was greeted several times. Hey Bagel offers something called "bialys", which to me is the equivalent of flavor of the week (I'm sure I'm somewhat wrong). The options when I went were caramelized onion, jalapeno cheddar, and another one. I noticed that the bagels with toppings (garlic, poppyseed, etc.) were THOROUGHLY coated. I haven't had bagels that really didn't have a top or bottom because of the equal coating. The consistency was chewy and the bagels taste great when you toast it. read more

Came on a Thursday at 10am with no line! Staff were super friendly and nice. The bagel flavors were plain, sea salt, poppy, garlic, and everything. I didn't try the bialys but all the bagels had such a great texture - they were warm and fluffy inside. The smears that came on the side were also really good! Would definitely come back again. read more

Every time I come here, I try to come during odd hours during the week day so that I can avoid the long weekend lines. It definitely works because I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to get my bagels and they always come out fresh and steamy. I've tried their pizza bialys with the scallion schmear and this is pretty good. I've also gotten the everything bagel with the lox schmear and it also is equally delicious. Instead of the texture being chewy and dense, these bagels are more soft and fluffy and they are better tasting when you eat on the spot. There is no seating on the inside however, only some standing space but on a nice day, you can just take the bagel out and sit at the shaded tables around University Village. They do have instructions for reheating the bagels if you take them home but they still don't really test as good as when you eat them fresh. read more

Have always loved bagels and Hey Bagel delivers! We waited in line on a weekend for about a hour and it was well worth the wait. I wish we could see what's remaining before getting closer but the flavors we were able to get was delicious. The crust was a great crunch in contrast to the soft inside. Love the smear offerings as well. read more

Ready to sell my cat, husband, firstborn, family member to get in line for these bagels again -- yes, they're THAT good. Let me tell you, I was ready to murder my husband for making me wake up at 4:30 am to drive to this spot from Portland at the start of a longer trip but after having the bagels, I literally think these are the best bagels I have ever eaten in my life. We got there roughly around 7:50 am and there was a bit of line forming already (this was a random Thursday btw). Probably about 20 people in front of us? The line started moving pretty quickly once the doors opened but I did have mild panic when I saw people leaving with bags of bagels; luckily we were definitely early enough to not miss out grabbing a couple like we'd planned. The fridge on right as you walk in has the 8 oz cream cheeses so we grabbed our schmear of choice aka spicy scallion. We really tried to be responsible carby adults so we went with the everything bagel, the sesame bagel, and the fresno chili bialy. Our order was still warm when we walked out with it and I can tell you we absolutely demolished these once we got back to our car. The bagels had such a good crisp on the outside with the softest interior. No heavy, dense items here. The schmear was RIDICULOUSLY good and I'd absolutely buy an 8 oz again. We used probably about 1/3rd of the container for our 3 items but then used the rest of it on a giant loaf of sourdough we had at home. Best decision ever. There are drinks if you want to grab a coffee or a matcha but we had other coffee plans so passed. The bagels are incredible, service is super friendly, and you can tell that they really care about the quality of the product that they are serving. Prices are super fair for the taste and goodness, and I love them for having a vegan schmear for my lactose intolerant friends. Try to get here around opening time on a weekday and I guarantee you, you will not leave with any ragrets. (Parking is easy with giant mall parking vibes). read more

Cute little bagel shop that absolutely delivers. They make fresh bagels all day long. They are served whole and you rip them and then dip it in your smear of choice. Such good flavors and so tasteful bagels. There's usually a long line on the weekends but it moves fast. There's outdoor seating at the surrounding mall read more

We came here on a Sunday morning at about 9:45 am and the line looked kind of long but only actually took 10-15 to get through. Moves quick since they aren't toasting bagels or anything. We got a few different bagels and schmears to try. Our favorites were the salt bagel and sesame bagel. I felt like the garlic bagel didn't really have much garlic flavor. I liked the spicy scallion cream cheese and the lox cream cheese as well. The shop is small which makes the line look longer than it is but they have some fun merch to look at while you wait and the service is friendly. By the time we left the line was at least double the length as when we first got there so I definitely recommend trying to go early. read more

It's five stars. Been multiple times, very consistent, hot always, delicious pull apart bagels. The service is quick and attentive. It's a little fancy (no slicing, they don't apply cream cheese). It's just excellent. Store is small and there's only the counter window to sit but plenty of covered seating in the courtyard. Some argue it's not a true bagel but a bread roll, either way it's excellent. I tried the bialy last time, hot and tasty but maybe a bit too much cheese and onion for me. Still great. read more

This place has been getting a lot of hype and I'd heard that the place has the best bagels you can get in Seattle, so had to give it a try. Firstly, it was a long wait over the weekend to get in. Next up, I tried the garlic and everything bagel with the Scallion schmear. The schmear was great but I felt the everything bagel was way too chewy. I tried the Fresno pepper bialy and this was decent. Overall nice bagels, but I didn't really get the hype, didn't feel my bagels were warm like how everyone says and was way too too chewy for my liking! read more

Came on a weekend. There was a long wait for 30 minutes. We decided to not wait as we were pretty hungry. But then after we finished our lunch and shopping, we decided to see if there was anything left. They had 2 Cheese pizza Bialys. We got that with a raspberry hot honey and spicy chili crunch. Absolutely loved the chili crunch and the Bialys. We demolished it so fast we forgot all about taking photos. The Bialy was soft and pillowy in the middle, and very tomato-ey. I didn't sense any pizza like flavors, but it was still pretty good. The texture was soft and like an artisan bread. The raspberry schmear had a touch of turmeric maybe?!? Interesting flavor but not sure if it fitted my flavor profile. I'd like to try their bagels some day, but waiting in line for 30-40 minutes isn't something I'd like to do. read more

Hey Bagel is soo good that we needed to come back for some hot fresh bagels! Andrew Rubinstein did not disappoint! We waited in line for about 35 minutes on a Sunday morning, but were greeted with bagels hot out of the oven! The Sea Salt bagel was delicious but a bit overwhelming with the salt. The everything bagel is a good balance of sesame seed, poppy seed, onion, garlic and salt. Delicious . The plain bagel is wonderful with its crisp exterior and nice soft interior, the sourdough gives it a nice flavor. A definite stop in Seattle! read more

This was an interesting concept! I'm new to this rip and dip trend but I really liked the bagels and it was enjoyable. I'll probably stick to the regular spread on a bagel but this was cool to try out. I got the cheese bagel and the spicy chili cream cheese. Loved all the flavors and it was super yummy. It was a bit unclear which the bialys were vs the bagels so they ended up charging us all differently but it was fine. Also didn't get the best pic cuz I was so hungry! read more

Came here on a weekday morning and there was still about a 20-minute line before we were able to get our bagels. They even ran out of some schmear flavors such as chili oil. The bagels were good but I'm honestly not sure if I'm sophisticated enough to understand the difference between a bad and great bagel. They were a little pricey as well, but I think bagels are just inherently a little more expensive than I thought. They have some beautiful artwork and this area is super nice if you're looking to shop or make a day trip out of it read more

As someone who doesn't usually like bagels, I was really impressed by Hey Bagel. There was a huge line but it went relatively fast. The staff let us wait to get fresh bagels out of the oven and it was so worth it: each one was so warm and fluffy. The everything bagel was the standout for me, with the perfect balance of seasoning. The garlic bagel was tasty but I personally wished for a stronger garlic punch. The poppy and sea salt bagels were solid, though the saltiness might be too much if eaten often. The caramelized onion and Gruyère bialy was my favorite: the savory onion and cheese combo elevated it so much. Even the scallion smear surprised me, since I don't typically enjoy cream cheese, but the light scallion flavor worked really well. There's no place to eat inside, but there's plenty of seating scattered around the area. Overall, this is a spot that makes you appreciate a well-crafted bagel, even if you're not usually a bagel fan. read more

Hey Bagel - Super fluffy bagels! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We went on a Saturday morning and there was a line but it went relatively quickly. We loved seeing and smelling the fresh made bagels and bialys. We got a 3 bagels + 8 oz schmear (sea salt, everything, salted poppy with a whole mix schmear). We also got a 2 oz of the biscotti, chocolate & espresso bean schmear. We also ordered a Fresno chili pepper & cheese bialy. We sat at a table outside in UVil to enjoy the freshly made bagels. The sea salt was so surprising and pair very nicely with the lox schmear. The lox schmear was so good The biscotti, chocolate & espresso bean schmear was also unique and we're glad we tried it. The chili pepper on the bialy gave it a nice kick. Overall, it was delicious, worth the wait, and such a treat. However, for $3.25 a bagel, the prices aren't for the faint of heart as our total came out to be just shy of $30 which seems kind of wild. read more

First of all, these aren't New York bagels. But that doesn't mean they aren't good, just different. The whole rip and dip concept is pretty good with how fluffy these bagels are on the inside. The outside is crisp and chewy. I wouldn't really make sandwiches with these because the denseness of traditional bagels is not there. The hype is real and lines are long, even at open. They were out of a lot of schemer flavors. Will have to come back for the schemers and bialys. read more

Yup, the best bagel in the greater Seattle area for sure. Don't need to tear & eat it if you don't want to. Bring it home, slice it, toast it. So good! 10/10. My favorite is the sesame. Worth the hype! Workers kind of rude fyi. read more

The bagels here are so good!! Very flavorful, hot out of the oven and so delicious. They were unfortunately sold out of bialys, but I'll make sure to come earlier next time to try them. They have a variety of cream cheese flavors to choose from, I tried the spicy scallion and chili crisp and both were amazing. I'll definitely be back. read more

The steamy, rip to eat and dip bagels is definitely the draw here. Having come from the East Coast (Philly/NYC), bagel standards are pretty high. This comes up here with a good quality bagel, but I don't know if I'm enough of a bagel connoisseur to wait a long line for it or fully buy into the craze. I love what they're doing though - especially the backstory of its founding/founder. The bagels have great form - a soft, fluffy interior and a chewy exterior. The cream cheese spreads are great, especially the plain and the spicy scallion. The chili crisp one is pretty tame. So far we've tried their bialys, sesame, poppy, and everything - I think their poppy is my favorite of the bunch and the bialys are pretty good. Glad to see the bagel scene taking off in Seattle. read more
